I'm new to Ubuntu (using 16.04), I've used it for about three days.
Today's issue is that the menu bars are missing from some applications: Nautilus, archive manager, Sublime Text 3 (when not run with sudo)*, Evince and who knows how many others. I swear they were present yesterday.

On the other hand in Firefox, LibreOffice and on many others, they are still present, for now.

I changed "show the menus for a window" under settings/appearance/behavior both to "in the menu bar" and "in the window's title bar", but that didn't fix it.
Uninstalling and reinstalling the applications didn't fix it either.

What can I do?

*When I open Sublime Text from the Unity Launcher or when I type subl in the terminal, menus are not showing. If I type sudo subl they do.

Application's menu missing from menu bar answered Apr 27 at 1:06 by rlam12:

Apparently it is a confirmed bug on the release... A fix is being investigated. You can see the bug report here
The temporary solution is to open a terminal with ALT + CONTROL + T and typing unity. This will cause the UI to reset and fix the problem. You'll need to so this every time you boot and it happens.
It is still unknown why it happens, but it affects about 30% of boots.
